Full Description

44045 There are several land holdings and manors documented in the Domesday Book in Mumby, which means 'Mundi's farmstead or village', and it appears to have had quite a large population. Several manors are recorded as belonging to Count Alan, some of which were assessed with manors in Hagworthingham. There was also a berewic belonging to Gilbert de Gand in Willoughby in the Marsh, and a berewic belonging to Eudo, who still owned land in Mumby at the time of the Lindsey Survey. {1}{2} Remains of medieval settlement and field system are visible on aerial photographs. {3} During trial trenching at TF 5151 7421 a medieval ditch was recorded with pottery of 13th to 15th century in date recovered from it. Pottery of a 15th to 17th century was also recovered from this site.{4}{5} A small archaeological excavation was undertaken an area known to contain archaeological remains. A single north to south aligned ditch was recorded, which contained pottery dating to the 15th to 16th century {6} {7} A watching brief at land off Hogsthorpe Road (TF 5151 7421) revealed medieval ditches and a large pit. These features contained pottery of 13th-15th century date. {8}{9} A watching brief undertaken at 44045a during groundworks to an extension of Greenacres, Washdyke Lane, Mumby, revealed a boundary ditch, visible on the 1891 Ordnance Survey map, and another ditch which contained 11th to 12th century pottery. {10}{11} An area of ridge and furrow south of Station Road was subject to an earthwork survey in 2019 {12}.
